Nasty obituary

That obit could be written about just about any DL poster.

I, for one, cannot bear children.

good.

I suspect you mean that in both senses of the word R2.

Oh my.

They really should have left out the part about forgiveness because there's clearly no forgiveness there. Don't say you forgive someone then trash them in print.

Im astounded at the subreddit for salty obits existence, and now also following.

r2 is not Lola Heatherton.

That obituary was written by Gayle. Lernal had a son, but he wasn't involved in the obituary. There were also more positive, even loving, opinions of Lernal.

[quote]The Commercial-News, after receiving complaints from relatives of Stull, removed the obituary from its website several hours after it appeared. It also had run in the print version.

Live as a cunt, die as a cunt, be immortalized as a cunt.

R10 - Sounds like she had not only a son, but another daughter?

She was a teenager when Gayle was born. Maybe she wasn't able to cope and had post partum depression or Psychosis. Sounds like she was a better mother to her other kids.

Yes.

Only if it said at the end of the obit and HER PUSSY STINKS!

Wow! I guess history IS written by the survivors.

Not so much an obituary as an open catharsis for Gayle. Gayle deserved better. Lernal had a (self-imposed?) hard life but she never protected her first child like a decent parent should. 🤷‍♀️

"Oh - no that's OK - I'll take care of the obituary. It's my pleasure - there's already so much stuff going on. I'll handle it." NOW's MY CHANCE! - Gayle

I love how she lists her many last names to reinforce all the failed marriages. Linda Lernel Harvey Cullum Smith Stull.

Now that's shade. I know this obit got so many letters of condemnation - but it's not really the public or the paper's decision to censor what goes in an obit.

It doesn't sound like there were any other siblings. Just Gayle with a huge fucking axe to grind. I have no problems with this.

I hope she broke the no contact rule at least once to tell off mother to her face.

Tell me about it, r18.

That obit seems to be making the rounds again! It is quite an asskicker.

There's a few of those fuck you obits out there and they're always entertaining to read.

She allowed a string of men to abuse her daughter, R13. You're glossing over a fuckton there. When Gayle told her step-father #2 was molesting her, she beat her daughter and accused her of stealing her husband. She was 13. This woman was not "misunderstood," she was evil.

There are two sides to every story.

R20 - problem is - she omitted the 2nd husband - I didn't see Hart listed in her names anywhere. Granted, there were a lot of names and maybe there was a character count max.

She sounds like a bitch (assuming the details are true and not the writings of a crazy woman), but it's very clear that the writer did not forgive the woman. I find that line worthy of an eye roll. I also rolled my eyes at the face judgment line. The writer is trying to sound Christian, but it's clear she's not really into the forgiveness anything.

Has Lorna commented yet?

This give me many hours of satisfaction. What I will write when orange Dumpty Humpty man keel over one day and choke on Biggest Mac? I taking all the notes. Also, how to not smell like the almond when add the cyanide to Diet Coke? Asking for friend.

The one I write for my mother will end,, not with forgiveness but with 'I look forward to visiting your gravestone. With a full bladder rather than flowers.. "

watch for it.

This daughter had a Do Not Contact for 24 years - so the daughter presumably didn't interact with her since she was 30. Yet, she laid in wait ready for this obituary - taking away any of the mother's siblings or family to say anything.

There are 2 possible scenarios: 1) she is 100% telling the truth and her mom was a monster. or 2) Gayle is a drama queen who takes small bits of truth and spins it out of control so she can blame her own shortcomings on to someone else. Her mom tried to correct her with her storytelling which made Gayle out to be a liar, which forced Gayle to accuse abuse and create a Do Not Contact.

I've met both types. She says her mom divorced her first husband and married another man who adopted her from 3-13. So was her home stable during that time? I'm sure being adopted then being dropped had to hurt, but he didn't have much to stand on legally.

I want to believe Gayle - but to be this histrionic and vicious after 24 years of no contact makes me think there's something else going on. Of course, I've never lived with pure evil, so I wouldn't know what that feels like.

R29, I think it's the former. She has been holding this resentment and anger inside of her since childhood. This was her one public pronouncement and her chance to finally vent and be heard. I believe her.

I’m trying, R11.

R30 - you're probably right - but I would have hoped she got some therapy and means to get herself out of that revenge mode. Holding on to that stuff for so many years eats away at you.

I'm not saying let it go - but I would have hoped with 24 years of no contact she would have realized with therapy that her mom was incapable for whatever reason.

Then again, I didn't experience it. She made the right move at least to cut contact so many years ago.

Oooooooh. Beware rotten,parents.

R32

Anger is more useful than despair.

You can't really understand this unless you come from a parent like this. Since by your own admission, you haven't, take a seat.

She sounds like a whore!

r29, I haven't spoken to my mother more than maybe 3x in 44 years and I get the giggles at the thought of writing her obituary. It will be extremely cathartic for me. Why? No idea, maybe just because she'll finally be gone.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed going to the substack in reddit and reading all the other salty obituaries. Some were actually sort of sweet, but there were several in this vein - mostly mothers, but a few assholish fathers too.

Now see, this is what happens when you don't take of your problems early on!

take *CARE* of your problems

Gayle should have ran away as soon as she could and never looked back. Just totally erased this woman from her life. Except for vandalizing the tombstone with red spray paint: BURN IN HELL!

Go away, and never come back!

Well I hope Gayle feels better at least. Otherwise, what was tbs point?

I love the ending...we forgive her but fuck her in the pit of hell 24/7, Satan.

Sweet.
